Country music sweetheart\u00a0Carrie Underwood\u00a0dazzled with a stunning performance of legend\u00a0Tammy Wynette\u2019s\u00a0\u201cStand By Your Man\u201d<\/em>\u00a0at the Grand Ole Opry back in May of 2008.<\/p>\n

The blonde beauty captivated the audience with a combination of her strong vocals and commanding stage presence. While nothing may ever compare to the \u201cFirst Lady of Country\u2019s\u201d original stylings, Underwood without a doubt does the song the justice it deserves.<\/p>\n

\u201cStand by your man, give him two arms to cling to,\u201d Underwood sings. \u201cAnd something warm to come to when nights are cold and lonely.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After being released in 1975, \u201cStand By Your Man\u201d received slight criticism when people accused the singer of encouraging women to place themselves second to men. However, the country singer assured that is their own misinterpretation of the love ballad and that the song is simply a suggestion for women to overlook their husband\u2019s shortcomings if they truly love them.<\/p>\n

The country classic rose to No.1 on\u00a0Billboard\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0Hot Country Singles chart and No.19 on the all-genre Hot 100 chart. The Library of Congress selected the song in 2010 to be included into the National Recording Registry for being \u201cculturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.\u201d<\/p>\n
